Pawn Hearts, Godbluff, H to He, all excellent albums. But after listening to Still Life 4 times today I have to say this album is probably their best.

Not to forget World Record which is excellent also. Well, I didn't forget it earlier I just hadn't heard it at the time. Still Life is still my favourite.


WHAT'S YOURS?

Re: Van Der Graaf Generator

Well, the thing is that I don't have a favourite VdGG album, I tend to focus more on individual songs. Listening to a whole album of them tends to be a bit difficult for me. For example, I start listening to "H to HE" and I really enjoy it up to "Lost" and "Pioneers Over C" which I find to be a bit over the top; but the first three songs are wonderful. Then, in "Pawn Hearts", I love "Lemmings" but I find the rest of the album a bit hard to listen to.

So, I made a double CD compilation with my favourite songs and this is what I listen to mostly.

a van der graff generator is the big thing with two metal balls next to eachother it's used for generating large electrostatic charge separations / fields / voltages whichever you prefer.

I gave them a listen, but have to admit they're not my cup of tea.

Over the top prog rock is not for everyone. Being over the top yourself like I am is usually a start.

It is. This thing has inspired the band too.
